unboxing Canon EOS Rebel SL2 with 3 lens bundle from Costco

I purchased this Canon EOS Rebel SL2 from Costco for $650.00 with tax about $711. Very proud after using it for 2 days, still learning new stuff and everything seems to work great. Don’t mind the glitches on this video I taped this video with a broken phone that I have for 2-years. Now that I have this camera I can take better pictures and videos. Also going to get the Samsung Galaxy s10e so camera and photo will work just fine compared to the broken phone I have now. Cant wait to start using this camera feels very light and small compared to other cameras I was trying in the store.

This Costco kit came with:

camera
3 lenses
32gb memory card
strap
carrying case
booklets
charger with battery
Costco Camera Helpline

This is a perfect combo of camera and everything you need to go on with your day shooting photographs. However, I wish it came with two set of batteries instead of one, but that is not too much of an issue.

In Depth after Playing with this Camera for 3 Months

I really love this Costco kit it is very reasonable in price, however I am pretty dissatisfied with this product in some ways. For instance, I do not like taking photos or videos with focus and blur in the background. I tried so many ways to get rid of the blur, I just want basic view and not focus or blur. After trying many ways , I found it impossible to photograph without the blur. Actually you can take pictures and have it with no blur, but kind of takes time and you have to play a little. However, you cant take videos whatsoever without any blur, I tried so many ways none of it worked. So main problem for me was that the camera isn’t made to shoot in none focus and blur settings.

Helpline Seems not Fully Knowledgeable

I tried to call Costco Camera Helpline and also Canon Helpline and both pissed me off because they kept making me restart the camera. They made me restart the camera like 5 times as if the camera had a defect for it not filming normally without blur settings. The Helpline for Costco and Canon are very unexperienced with their devices. I called them and told them I just want to shoot a video and be natural video with no focus and no blur. They act like its possible and then after trouble shooting for couple times and making me restart the device couple times, then they don’t have an answer. This types of question should be known by the Canon helplines.

I came across a friend who told me DSL Cameras are made to shoot with blur in background that is their core focus. However, he advised me that their are lenses that are made to shoot with no blur. So, seems like all I would need to do is swap lenses. I wish the Canon helplines would be familiar with this types of stuff.

Other than the focus and blur issue, everything else works 100% outstanding with this camera. Color quality is amazing and photographs look very high in quality. I recommend this product as long as you like the blur and focus features.
